Too bad this forum doesn't allow upvoting or hearting. I'd give you a vote for sure. You had me laughing.

Yeah... missed my calling for sure. Standup comedian doing
the Catskills resorts, wearing a Yamalka... I’d have been
another Ish Kabbible...

It was around 1976-77 that I first heard Reorganite folks
speculating that Indians were living in the Americas for
thousands of years before Lehi... not surviving Jaredites,
but real Siberian migrants.

But that talk upset the “literal gathering of Israel” fundies,
and it was kept out of the Saints Herald and Conference
talks. When the later Asian DNA controversy arose, the
Restoration Branch traditionalists were already departing.
The liberal remnant CoC members were saying “I told
you so...” but the First Presidency, by then, had fully
abandoned the Book of Mormon being an authentic ancient text.

Maybe I should get rebaptized and argue with the
“I told you so” guys and gals — that, no, the Aztecs
weren’t palling around with Alma and Mosiah’s sons.
But, then again, maybe I’ll put my socks drawer in
order, and fix the closet doorknob instead.

Cheers,
UD

"The Book of Mormon is a miracle..."

I have become... Comfortably Numb... (Pink)
Riding on a speeding train; trapped inside a revolving door;
Lost in the riddle of a quatrain; Stuck in an elevator between floors.
One focal point in a random world can change your direction:
One step where events converge may alter your perception.
